yeah but then again, I've just spread a load around the fruit bushes and they seem very pleased with me!

Depends on the use...?

It can be used as a mulch throughout the season. :D

But only if it's well rotted. If it's fresh stuff then you need to compost it before you spread it anywhere :)

It can be used fresh as a mulch as long as it isn`t touching the plants. :tongue2: :D

You shouldn`t DIG fresh manure into the soil because it will burn the roots, but is fine as a mulch.
